Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Public-welfare behavior is a special prosocial behavior. Actively participating in public welfare activities has an important impact on the psychological development of adolescents. According to the group identity theory, national identity may be an important factor affecting public-welfare behavior, but its functional mechanism remains unclear. This study explored how national identity influenced adolescents’ public-welfare behavior through the mediating role of social responsibility and the moderating role of sex. Methods: We selected a total of 969 adolescents by cluster sampling to complete the questionnaires. We used the Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS to test the mediating role of social responsibility and the moderating role of sex in the relationship between national identity and public-welfare behavior. Results: Results showed that social responsibility fully mediated the relationship between national identity and public-welfare behavior among adolescents. In addition, the mediating effect of social responsibility was moderated by sex, that is, the mediating effect of social responsibility was significant in male adolescents but not in female adolescents. Conclusion: National identity may affect the public-welfare behavior of adolescents by improving social responsibility, albeit significantly only in male adolescents. Our findings enrich existing research on adolescents’ public-welfare behavior and inspire the targeted promotion of public-welfare behavior among adolescents.
中国青少年的国家认同与公益行为
摘要:导论:公益行为是一种特殊的亲社会行为。积极参与公益活动对青少年的心理发展有着重要的影响。根据群体认同理论,国家认同可能是影响公益行为的重要因素,但其作用机制尚不明确。本研究探讨了国家认同如何通过社会责任的中介作用和性别的调节作用影响青少年的公益行为。方法:采用整群抽样的方法对969名青少年进行问卷调查。我们使用SPSS的Hayes PROCESS宏来检验社会责任在国家认同与公益行为关系中的中介作用和性别的调节作用。结果:社会责任在青少年国家认同与公益行为的关系中起完全中介作用。此外,社会责任的中介效应受性别的调节,即社会责任的中介效应在男性青少年中显著,而在女性青少年中不显著。结论:国家认同可能通过提高社会责任影响青少年的公益行为,但仅在男性青少年中显著。本研究丰富了已有的青少年公益行为研究,对有针对性地促进青少年公益行为具有启发意义。
